The YS2C – Young Scientist Cancer Congress 2026 will take place from October 1–2, 2026, at the Amphitheater of IUCT-Oncopole in Toulouse, France.

Organized as an international scientific meeting dedicated to early-career researchers and clinicians in cancer research, YS2C aims to foster scientific exchange, highlight emerging research, and create networking opportunities across the cancer research community.

The 2026 congress will focus on “Advances in Cancer Therapeutics”, bringing together Master’s and PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, early-career scientists, clinician-scientists, and established researchers working across different areas of oncology. The programme will include keynote lectures, oral presentations, poster sessions, lightning talks, roundtable discussions, Physician Corner sessions, Hackathon activities, and Meet the Editor sessions.

The meeting will highlight advances at the interface of fundamental cancer biology, translational research, and clinical oncology, while providing opportunities for young scientists to present their work, build collaborations, and engage with leaders in the field.
